The number of static load vectors created for each superelement depends upon the type of analysis. In static analysis, the number of vectors created is equal to the number of unique EXCITEID IDs on all LSEQ entries in the Bulk Data; in dynamic analysis, the number of vectors created is equal to the number of unique DAREA IDs on all RLOAD1, RLOAD2, TLOAD1, TLOAD2 and ACSRCE entries in the Bulk Data. </p>

The subcases after the first should contain only SUBTITLE and LABEL information and residual structure output requests.  SUBTITLE and LABEL information for all superelements will be obtained from the residual structure. </p>
